| Description: | In this industrial infomercial is the introduction of the transplanter,a machine that uproots trees and transports them to a new location to be rerooted. Needless to say there are numerous shots of a variety of adult trees and shrubbery in both Morton Arboretum and a suburban area of American dream homes. The transplanter is featured at work (mostly in LS): cutting, uprooting,transporting (it moves rather speedily!),digging,and replanting. Nature is a keyword here because everything involves or is located in undeveloped areas. There is an interview with an arboretum worker (stilted and rehearsed) by a pseudo-TV reporter who also acts as narrator. | |
